About the Exhibition
SYSTEMS presents an exploration of interconnected patterns, archaeological narratives, and creative processes through the diverse works of four contemporary artists. This group exhibition examines how artists construct their own visual languages and systems of meaning through painting, mixed media, and printmaking.
Featured Artists:
John Cox presents his distinctive printmaking works, including pieces from his Negative Horizon and Atomic Tides series, exploring themes of fragmentation and reconstruction through bold geometric forms.
Sarah Mallin contributes five large-scale paintings, each investigating systems of color, texture, and spatial relationships through her signature layered approach.
Allyson Montana brings her archaeological-inspired paintings that examine unwritten stories from the past. Her layered works incorporate sand, paint, and mixed media to create visual stratigraphy, questioning how we interpret symbols and construct narratives across time.
Margaret Ryan rounds out the exhibition with her systematic approach to smaller-format works, creating intimate dialogues within the larger conversation about creative systems and processes.
